Making ice cream is really total BLISS. <br /><br />Cheers!pastry studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18236016716310805888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4897079154160126133.post-43840197814394694152014-06-26T10:48:31.345-07:002014-06-26T10:48:31.345-07:00Hiya :PS!

This yolkless one was fun to put together.<br />And yes, peanut butter, banana, chocolate: perfect, really.<br /><br />Instead of choc chunks, I poured melted chocolate into the machine in the last minutes to get fun little stracciatella chips.<br /><br />Your pictures of the scoops in cones inspired me to make some little ones out of pizzelles. Good stuff!<br />Thanks for another great post!Bryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06580216519602520327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4897079154160126133.post-66186698219108418862014-06-23T07:15:02.958-07:002014-06-23T07:15:02.958-07:00Anonymous, there are a lot of factors that go into...Anonymous, there are a lot of factors that go into the texture of ice cream: ratio of dairy fat in the combination of milk/cream/yogurt/sour cream/buttermilk; sugar levels; water content in fruit. Chocolate can also add to the creaminess. <br /><br />I have made gelato and ice cream with cornstarch. (In fact, I made an Almond Espresso Brittle Gelato with cornstarch last week that I'll post some time.) Cornstarch absorbs water, prevents ice crystal formation and takes the place of egg yolks to thicken the ice cream. And although it does have a certain creaminess, it doesn't quite have the mouthfeel of a custard base. In my cookbook, I also have a Sicilian style Pistachio Gelato made with cornstarch but I add a bit of olive oil to get some of that mouthfeel back.<br /><br />You might try a half-recipe sometime to get a sense of it. It's definitely a nice solution to avoid graininess if you a low-fat mixture and want to avoid eggs.<br /><br />Hope this helps!pastry studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18236016716310805888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4897079154160126133.post-23312478430384545112014-06-23T01:54:36.096-07:002014-06-23T01:54:36.096-07:00One question - I sometimes see ice cream recipes w...One question - I sometimes see ice cream recipes which, rather than an egg-custard base have a pudding base thickened with cornstarch. Do you have any experience with this technique? I am curious if it really enhances the "scoopability" as they suggest..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4897079154160126133.post-18802102983216170932014-06-21T11:13:59.633-07:002014-06-21T11:13:59.633-07:00Hello, SallyBR!

Hope you and your husband have a chance to enjoy this. It's so simple to throw together; the hardest part is waiting for it to chill before it goes into the machine!pastry studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18236016716310805888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4897079154160126133.post-2775621308923322952014-06-21T10:41:36.572-07:002014-06-21T10:41:36.572-07:00absolutely lovely!
